Laird's Lodge was the single friendliest place we have ever stayed. Staff were amazing the whole stay. The room was very spacious and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was brilliant and more than big enough to skip lunch! Although slightly outside Plettenberg Bay we were still very pleased to have stopped here. Would highly recommend

I had misplaced the directions so was very relieved to see the Laird's Lodge sign on the highway after a long drive from Hermanus.

We stayed here en route to Hermanus and Cape Town. So wished we could have stayed longer than 2 nights. Nothing to say other than absolutely wonderful. Helpful staff, food was beautiful and the rooms are sooooo comfortable. Would love to return and spend no less than 5 days next time.
